But why "quietly" , if he didn't do anything?
It's nobody's business I assume. But had he been found to have done something, they would not be obligated to pay him.
To date, nothing in a court has found him negligent or guilty of a cover up. As pointed out in this thread, he actually dismissed a player 4 days before he was arrested because there was proof. At the same school, one of the cases was on Shawn Oakman. He was expected to be drafted.
A NFC executive told Lance Zierlein of
NFL.com that Oakman was "undraftable now" because the case is unlikely to be resolved before the start of the draft. Zierlein believed the arrest would likely result in Oakman being removed from all NFL team boards. He went undrafted.
He was subsequently found not guilty of the alleged sexual assault.
